Spinal cord stimulation during cycling for spinal cord injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a painless electrical stimulation on the back, combined with assisted cycling, can help people with recent spinal cord injury improve leg movement and muscle control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a spinal cord injury between neck and mid-back (C2 to T11) that is incomplete (ASIA B, C, or D).
- Your injury happened less than 1 year ago.
- You are able to follow instructions and tolerate the stimulation.
- You have mild or no muscle tightness (spasticity less than 3 on a scale).
- You do not have metal implants in the lower back area, epilepsy, unresolved fractures, or severe bone thinning.

This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulation device to help people with chronic spinal cord injury regain leg movement. It aims to improve muscle control and function.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can improve movement and muscle control in people with spinal cord injury. If you've had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are between 20-70 years old, this might help improve leg function and walking.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spine) can help improve bladder, bowel, and other automatic body functions during inpatient rehab after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who have a non-worsening injury at or above the T6 level and are within 4 months of their injury.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can be safely used for people with spinal cord injury. If you have had a surgery to stabilize your spine, this stimulation could help with recovery.
